What a name to call a child!
« on: Tuesday 22 February 22 16:26 GMT (UK) »
Today I have found (whilst looking for something else entirely), a boy with first name "Time of" and surname DAY  from Kent, not to be out done by a boy named "Bold" surname FOX from Lancashire !

Bold Fox did not have a brother called Sly, but there was one called Squire :)

I recently researched a family tree for a friend and found his great-grandfather was called Hardicanute Evans. He had a daughter called Hazellopone.

Another Time Of Day (married 1866 Kent) as well as the one b 1899

Time Of Day b 1899 married in 1924.  I hope he didn’t call any of his son’s by the same name

The Puritans used several word phrases as Christian names ,such as :-
“Praise The Lord Jones”
“Strength in the Truth Williams” etc.
